Kiewit has won a contract to lead the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of Glenfarne’s Texas LNG development at Brownsville under a lump-sum turnkey (LSTK) structure.
Glenfarne Energy Transition’s Texas LNG Brownsville is a 4 mill tonnes per annum LNG export terminal to be built at Brownsville, Texas.
Kiewit’s subsidiaries, Kiewit Engineering Group and Kiewit Energy Group, will lead the project.
In addition, Texas LNG will work with Kiewit to promptly complete the pre-final investment decision (FID) engineering required for the project to proceed to a FID, which aligns with Texas LNG’s recent announcement of selling sufficient offtake for a FID to be taken.
Brendan Duval, CEO and Founder of Glenfarne, and Co-President of Texas LNG, said: “Texas LNG received immense interest from world-class contractors that wanted to be involved in the project.
“Kiewit’s proposal, capability, and partnership vision for Texas LNG, as well as their significant execution and implementation expertise on the US Gulf Coast, made a substantial impression on our project team. We look forward to working with them,” he said.
“Kiewit is excited to partner with Glenfarne to deliver this crucial LNG project in the region,” added Eric Gutierrez, Executive Vice President, Kiewit Energy Group.
“Our extensive experience delivering complex, integrated LNG EPC projects for our clients continues to be a differentiator for our company. We appreciate the opportunity to work with a client committed to developing important energy infrastructure opportunities in the US,” he said.
Glenfarne Energy Transition, a developer, owner, and operator of energy transition infrastructure, is the majority owner and managing member of Texas LNG. The company’s LNG portfolio also includes the 8.8 mill tonnes per year Magnolia LNG export facility under development in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
